Lately I decided that my plants and I needed some shimmery beauty to excite us. So I did something. I took this old dustbin, put it in a terracotta pot, put some plants around it, put in water and then added some fish. The results were wonderful. The way the water catches sunlight, and the way it casts it reflections, has indeed made my garden alive.
A little water starts life, adds beauty, refreshes, rejuvenates, enlivens! Just a little water can add a serenity to your green patch that nothing else would. From bird baths, water plants and aquariums to fountains, waterfalls and ponds; choose one water feature, according to the size and nature of your garden, and see it stir the magic. Water attracts wildlife, which helps to pollinate the plants. Water will keep your garden temperatures low, and add humidity to the air to keep the plants from wilting. If you're putting fish in your water, you can get rid of mosquito larvae and also other tiny insects, too. So many targets with one aim!
